Art can do anything: it can extend our life, reinvent our bodies, resurrect us from death, it can make us immortal, self-sustainable and it can offer us the possibility of exploring the entire universe. This is the paradigm of thinking which motivated my project ‒ consisting in a workshop intended to analyze the possibility of restructuring the culture, the society, the politics and ideology, in every aspect of human life, in order to achieve the somehow ‘senseless’ purpose of attaining immortality.
The theme of the workshop revolves around the cosmist idea that death is not natural, is just an error in a certain life process that it can be overcome trough scientifically research in all the fields of knowledge, including art. (Anton Vidokle and Hito Steyerl).
Nikolai Fedorov takes this idea even further and envisions a world in which we would disavow our existence as subjects and choose to be objects – not technological objects that are used and devalued through time, but art objects, which are cared for and are not replaceable: objects that can be restored – animated, but are immortal objects.
Other concepts discussed are: the production of time (Antonio Negri), the cosmic circulation of energy, the blood rejuvenation community (Alexander Bogdanov), the telepathic sphere of reason (Vladimir Vernadsky), the superintelligence and the post-humanism. more>

YOU BETTER COME TWICE!

About double binds, Doppler effects, second scripts und Dubletten! On the production of sense in a rhythmical way, the dramatizations and processes of a praxis of “knowledge in motion“ and the influence of temporality on our accepting “as true“.
Translations, not only between languages, intend to improve our understanding, at the same time permanently generate new combinations that have to be interpreted. With a salty reverberation, des köstlichsten Unsinns, dem salzigen Nachhall, of delicious nonsense on our lips, schmeckt Sinn allzu fade, sense seems to be tasteless, a random coincidence, when we constantly hit beside the goal, we accept it with disgust. Uff(a)! Phew!

ARTHUR CRAVAN FOUNDATION Milan

The Arthur Cravan Foundation announces a residency programme and provides a place for developing and working on projects deemed to be “senseless”: beyond the good common sense, standards, norms and normalizations (conscious or unconscious) of the artistic and intellectual production of the time… of this time…more>

Senseless Project Proposal
We wish to have the time and space for dimensional deliberations that might relate to the following two passages:
“It is indeed possible that the last of the Atures people did not die out until recently. For in Maypures (a curious fact) there lives an old parrot, of which the natives maintain that no one can understand him because he is speaking the language of the Atures people.”
–Humboldt, Views of Nature

I am ready to go this week in every usual bar in Milano thanks to the hospitality of the Senseless Residency program offered by Fondazione Arthur Cravan. See you there, if you like. (your usual bars, not mine)

I like bars, especially the ugly ones. I would like to go to every bar in Milano, where I will have open appointments and where I will invite some people I know to meet other people I know. Anyway if nobody will come, I will go by myself; I will take some books with me. I like bars, did I already tell you this? more>

For her 59th Lautstrom-broadcast, Anna Bromley pals up with brand new radio makers from Milan and their freshly made radio program Antidoti nel futuro (antidotes from the future). Curated by Helga Franza and Silvia Hell, the Milan based platform Cose Cosmiche asks artists, scientists and researchers of various fields to present a reflection, a thought on space, time, energy, matter, void. In Lautstrom#59 you get to listen to the makers themselves and to extracts of the radio program with the neurologist Michele Capararo and artist Luca De Leva, with economist Andrea Fumagalli and astro-physicist Massimo Cappi, with artist Matteo Cremonesi and philosopher Franco Bifo Berardi. Come and get your ears on the cosmic wagontrain!
